Educators and School Boards
As educators, school boards and other partners in education, you see the effects of violence in schools in real time. You understand how important it is that schools have the right tools, resources and support to nurture safe and inclusive learning environments. We know this work isn’t easy, which is why we need to work together. See ways we can make a difference, together, below.
What you can do
Three things you can do right now
Here are actions you can take to build safer schools:
-
We are launching a working group for teachers, principals, school-based social workers, counsellors, child and youth care workers on a care-focused tool for responding to student disclosures of sexual harassment or assault. The tool we are developing will help school boards in meeting their protocol requirements mandated by PPM 166 and Erin’s Law. Register with us to participate.
-
Our team has years of experience in supporting schools and educators with addressing and preventing sexual assault and harrassment with care, compassion and accountability. We offer specialized training for professional development days and share practical, trauma-informed strategies and tools that cultivate violence-free learning environments. Connect with us to learn how we can support your team.
